1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundAffordable housing provides a critical foundation for children's health. Yet little is known about how households of children with disabilities engage in federal rental assistance programs.

objectiveThis study examines the rates of participation in HUD rental assistance programs among households of children with disabilities in 2023 and assesses the odds of these households residing in specific HUD rental assistance programs.

methodsThis paper engages a population level cross-sectional analysis of HUD-assisted households using HUD household and member data files. The sample included all households receiving HUD rental assistance in 2023 that were led by an adult between the ages 18-61 and included at least one child (n = 1,558,711). Participation in HUD rental assistance programs was quantified and characterized through descriptive statistics and multinomial logistic regression.

resultsEight percent (n = 134,628; 1 in 12) of HUD-assisted households with children included at least one child with a disability. Compared to HUD-assisted households with a child without a disability, HUD-assisted households with a child with a disability had higher odds of participating in a Housing Choice Voucher Program than in Multifamily Housing by a factor of 2.6 and higher odds of participating in Public Housing than Multifamily Housing by a factor of 2.2.

conclusionsHUD rental assistance programs serve a substantial share of households with children with disabilities, with notable variation in participation by program type. This study provides the most comprehensive national estimates to date of HUD participation among households with children with disabilities, offering a critical foundation for future research.
